Asymetric magnetic field

Hi!
I'm using a magnetic field 2D model and a 50Hz frequency study.
I have three power-lines that transmit 3-phase currents. That is, each coil is 120[deg] phase shifted to the
other.
The power-lines are placed in [-9,0], [0,0] and [9,0] and all transits the same current magnitude with the
same frequency.
For some reason the total magnetic flux density normB is not symmetric around x=0. It will have a higher
peak on one of the sides. (Which side depends on which cable is the "reference" while the other are phase
shifted +-120 with respect to this).
Does anyone understand why normB is not symmetric? Any insight will be gladly appreciated.

You have other conductors besides the ones you have specified currents for. If I remove all the other conductors I get a symmetric solution for normB. I conclude that the other conductors are carrying nonzero currents.
